"Hahahaha... The county magistrate sent you here to give gifts and ask me to move the army to Jingnan and Ninghai?"
Upon hearing this, the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro glanced at the butler who was prostrating himself at his feet with a fawning look on his face, and could not help but burst into laughter.
It's really ridiculous. The magistrate of Taiping County looks quite old, but I didn't expect that he has lived a dog's life at such an old age. I have just arrived at the city and just started to deploy troops, but the magistrate of Taiping County has already given in. He is more cowardly than a dog and dumber than a pig... Compared with the young magistrate of Jingnan County, there is a huge difference between them.
But I like it!
The more incompetent county magistrates like this one in the Ming Dynasty, the better!
After Heihachiro laughed wildly, the butler smiled and lay on the ground, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "That's right, that's right, Your Majesty. Our county is extremely poor, and the county lord is afraid that the hospitality will not be good enough and will ruin Your Majesty's mood, so we ask Your Majesty to move the army to visit Jingnan and Ninghai. Jingnan and Ninghai counties are famous fishing and rice producing areas in our Taizhou Prefecture. They are not only extremely rich, but also famous for their many beautiful women. I guarantee that Your Majesty's trip will be worthwhile."
"Haha, my army has come all the way from the ocean, and the food and necessities for the people and horses are countless. There are also 100,000 children crying for food in the ocean camp. You, the county magistrate, want to send me away with this little bit of food, like a beggar?!!"
Heihachiro sneered and kicked over the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry with disdain. Then he pulled up the butler from the ground with one hand, as if he was picking up a chick, stared into his eyes with a ferocious face, and asked viciously.
Oh shit!
So fierce!
"My lord, please spare me, my lord, please spare me..." The butler felt that he was going to be eaten alive by Heihachiro in the next second. He was so scared that he peed his pants and begged for mercy. Well, it really did flow. A stream of yellow turbid liquid dripped down the corners of his trouser legs and soon gathered into a pool on the ground.
"Um?"
The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro heard the sound of running water, looked down, and threw the butler into the pool of yellow liquid at his feet with disgust.
"My lord, please spare me, my lord, please spare me." The butler was left with nothing but shit, falling face down into the yellow turbid liquid. Regardless of the dirt on his face, he quickly turned over and rolled on the ground, kowtowed to the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro and begged for mercy.
"Hahaha, are all the people in the Ming Dynasty such cowards?!"
"Hahahaha, this coward is so funny, he's more timid than a mouse, and worse than a pig or a dog."
Seeing the butler's extremely embarrassed and shameless appearance, the Japanese pirates nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Captain, the magistrate of Taiping treated us like beggars and sent this coward over here. Why don't we just cut off this coward's head and let the magistrate have a look at it?"
A Japanese pirate proposed this to their leader Heihachiro.
"My king, please spare my life. My king, please spare my life. When two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed."
Hearing the Japanese pirates' proposal to cut off their heads, the butler was so frightened that he trembled all over. His whole body shook like a sieve. He ignored the yellow turbid liquid under his body and banged his head down, making splashing sounds.
The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro couldn't help but sneer when he saw the butler's cowardly look. He waved his hand to reject his subordinates' proposal and said sarcastically, "Why cut off this coward's head? Feed it to the dogs?!"
"This pig head of mine is too big to be eaten even if you feed it to a dog." The housekeeper said hurriedly while kowtowing.
"Bah! I've never seen such a shameless person."
A group of Japanese pirates sneered.
The butler knelt on the ground, trying hard to put on a smile, and then apologized, so the pirates laughed even louder.
"Coward, listen to me carefully."
The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro lifted up the chin of the kneeling butler with his foot and stared at him with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, I am all ears." The butler stretched out his hand to touch his ear and said repeatedly with a flattering look on his face.
"Knife!"
The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro reached out to take a Japanese sword from his subordinates and pulled out the sword in front of the housekeeper.
The butler began to tremble again, and the smile he tried hard to put on his face was frightened by this scene.
“Whoosh!”
Heihachiro inserted the Japanese sword straight in front of the butler, close to the butler's face, which scared the butler so much that he pissed himself.
"This sword is a return gift from the governor!" said the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro in a cold voice.
"Ah?! Your Majesty..."
When the butler heard this, his face turned pale and his voice stammered.
What does it mean that the Japanese pirate leader gave a Japanese sword as a gift? It goes without saying that this means that He Tan is broken! He needs to use a sword to solve the problem.
"This is also my return gift!"
The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro took off the shell bracelet on his wrist, threw it in front of the butler, and said lightly.
Shell bracelet is also a return gift?!
What's the meaning?!
The butler picked up the bracelet with both hands, looking stunned, not understanding what the pirate leader Heihachiro meant.
After being stunned for two seconds, the butler's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed an expression of great joy. I understand, I understand. There are a total of ten shells in this string of shells. Ten shells, ten times. The Japanese pirates want ten times the gift.
What a sudden turn of events!
Although the Japanese pirates asked for a huge sum of money, it is self-evident that life is more important than money.
The butler was ecstatic.
"Take these two return gifts back to the magistrate and let him choose. I will only give you one stick of incense time." The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro looked at the butler expressionlessly and said in a cold voice.
"Hi, hi, hi, I will report this to the county lord right away. I believe the county lord will definitely make a choice that will satisfy the king."
The butler held up the shell bracelet and the Japanese sword respectfully with both hands and spoke to Heihachiro in a respectful and flattering manner.
"Get lost! If you can't satisfy me after one stick of incense, Taiping will be killed, and not a single one will be left alive!"
The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro threatened with a ferocious look on his face.
"Hi, hi, hi, I'll roll right away." The butler held the shell bracelet and the Japanese sword respectfully and rolled out of the Japanese pirate camp. After leaving the Japanese pirate camp, the butler rolled up, as if he had won a great victory. He held his head high, held the Japanese pirates and the bracelet high in both hands, and ran towards the city wall like the wind.
Soon, a basket was hung from the city wall, and the butler climbed into the basket and was pulled onto the city wall.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I'm here to bring you good news..." As soon as he climbed onto the city wall, the butler shouted loudly with excitement on his face.
"What are you yelling about, you idiot! You're just afraid that the whole world doesn't know about it! Go over there and tell me quietly." Magistrate Wang glared at the housekeeper and scolded him.
The butler nodded repeatedly and followed Magistrate Wang to the corner of the wall. He shielded himself from the surroundings, handed the Japanese sword and shell bracelet to Magistrate Wang, and told him the truth about the peace talks. Of course, he omitted the scene where he was pissing himself in fear, and instead described himself as very heroic.
"Ten times is ten times!"
After hearing the two options given by the Japanese pirates, County Magistrate Wang chose the latter without a second thought.
